Yes — Fruit Pastilles Lollies is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Fruit Pastilles are ultra-processed because they contain several industrially processed ingredients and additives, including glucose syrup, maltodextrin, citric acid, flavourings, invert sugar syrup, spirulina concentrate, and caramelised sugar syrup. These ingredients reflect industrial formulations, refined sugars, flavouring additives, and processed colour or flavour concentrates. Guar gum is also an industrial thickening stabiliser. The fruit juice concentrates, colours, and safflower concentrate further contribute to a formulated confectionery product rather than a minimally processed food.

Yes — Fruit Pastilles Lollies by Rowntree's is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Fruit Pastilles are ultra-processed because they contain several industrially processed ingredients and additives, including glucose syrup, maltodextrin, citric acid, flavourings, invert sugar syrup, spirulina concentrate, and caramelised sugar syrup. These ingredients reflect industrial formulations, refined sugars, flavouring additives, and processed colour or flavour concentrates. Guar gum is also an industrial thickening stabiliser. The fruit juice concentrates, colours, and safflower concentrate further contribute to a formulated confectionery product rather than a minimally processed food.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
